Variation in the material of tensioned parts used in Metal Stamping Dies is usually dictated by the intended application of the product, the mechanical properties required in the final product, economic consideration, and the possibility of the manufacturing process. What materials are normally incorporated in the Molded Connector Terminal Parts?
1. Steel
Mild steel: It has good plasticity and formability can be easy to form through stretching molding and is useful for forming tensile parts.
Stainless steel: Superior corrosion performance and a measure of strength, that makes it particularly popular for food processing, chemical, medical, and numerous other industries in the tensile parts.
Alloy steel: depending on the type of alloying elements, it has better strength and wear resistance and is ideal for applications in extension parts where special emphasis is placed on strength.
2. Aluminum
Pure aluminum: It has good plasticity, but it can easily be deformed or stretched apart from the fact that it is not very strong.
Aluminum alloy: Magnesium, silicon, copper, and other elements were added to the material to enhance its strength and hardness while obtaining good formability widely used in aerospace, automotive electronics industries, and so on.
3. Copper and copper alloys
It has satisfactory electrical conductivity and ductility which makes it useful in tensile parts that require electrical conductivity.
Brass and bronze: By adding zinc, tin, and other elements, to enhance the strength and wear-resistant properties of the material used suitable for manufacturing different types of tension spring parts.
4. Titanium alloys
With high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance, it is suitable for aerospace, medical and high-end sports equipment, etc., which have very high requirements on material properties.
5. Plastics
Although plastics are not metals, in some applications, thermoplastics can also be used to create stretched parts through the stretch molding process for applications where lightweight and cost-effectiveness are required.
6. Composite materials
Composite of metal, ceramic or plastic matrix, and reinforcing materials (e.g. carbon fiber, glass fiber) with lightweight, high strength, and high rigidity, suitable for tensile parts requiring high performance.
What other factors should be taken into account when choosing the material for the Stretched Hardware Stamping Parts?
Formability: The plasticity and ductility of the material determines its formability in the stretching process.
Mechanical properties: Mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, toughness, etc. should meet the needs of the use of tensile parts.
Corrosion resistance: Selection of suitable materials according to the use environment to ensure the durability of the tensile parts.
Heat treatment performance: Some materials may need heat treatment to improve their mechanical properties.
Cost: Material cost, processing cost and subsequent maintenance cost are all factors to be considered when selecting materials.
